Oh Carl, still butthurt. No one liked the way Harden performed in the playoffs. But Harden isn't going anywhere sans a Lebron/Durant trade which is not happening.
Sure. But I won't take Harden over Love, who is pretty much just as young as Harden and makes a more positive impact for his team than Hardenndoes.
Is there a moment in any of your pathetic, bickering lives where you guys don't b**** about having one of the best SG in the game? Seriously? Harden is a scorer who takes chances and misses them.. who the F*** cares. Stop complaining.
Carl Herrera - You can be a T-Wolves fan if you want... sound good? This LOVE fascination is too intriguing. Guys just too good on the D...
Carl - I am really curious as too who else you want in your proverbial fantasy land... Love... You want Paul George? You want Duncan too? How about Michael Jordan? Maybe we can bring him out of retirement to make an all-defensive team (he played great D...). Great. fantastic.
Just because you people don't care about the team advancing in the playoffs, it doesn't mean the rest of us don't care and are not right to complain. If a team wants to win a title, it needs more of an elite player than what Harden has given so far. Your "superstar" can't play like some glorified Jamal Crawford.
How can you say that when Harden led us to the playoffs his first year here and Love cant even finish .500?
I'd take year 5 Harden going forward and think you absolutely can win a title with that version him as one of your best 2 players. And the best part about the real world is that he is more likely to improve in the next few years than it is for him to regress. As far as him vs Love. I think it's a coin flip, maybe at best love takes a 55/45 advantage over him. If things were to happen where trading Harden for Love was a necessity I wouldn't mind it, but as things are now I see no reason whatsoever to do it or even want for the team to do it.
If Love is such a superstar why do his teams always suck ass? Superstars put teams on their backs, plus I can't believe y'all would want that prick after what he did to Scola.
I can say it because basketball is a team sport-- having a team with talent and fit with each other matter. The Rockets also had better records than Kevin Love's teams when its leading players were Brooks, Scola, Landry, Ariza, Lowry, Martin and Dragic. Are all these guys better than Love? I can say it because Love's teams were badly mis-coached by Rambis (who wouldn't play Love enough) and Adelman (who kept playing scrubs like Barea over better players) and mismanaged by Kahn and Saunders.
But our coach sucks to right? And you know what James does when coach puts it all on him, he delivers! unlike Love.
Man it's like once a year you have to have an epic meltdown where you go full DD on us. First it was the Patterson trade and now this. Take a step back, think before you post and take a deep breath.
James Harden has always had an elite rim protector to cover his mistakes; Love hasn't, and he is still has been a better defender. Steals is nearly irrelevant when considering defense. All it means is that he gambles a lot.
Harden sucks on D sure, but why would you take Love over him? Harden made the playoffs when he was the only star on the team and Love has never made the playoffs. Hardens supporting cast before Dwight wasnt that much better than Loves. So why are you so adamant that you would take Love over him?
And yet you still cry for a player who doesn't play defense and has never been on a playoff team, and another player who has been in the league for 10 seasons while showing a complete lack of care for playing defense.
